Thank you, Sabine!
I do not write a lot of reviews but when the situation warrants, I feel obliged to praise when praise is due. Fortune was mine for being able to squeeze a return trip to Berlin amid my late-summer voyage. Mittendrin was my home for a quick two-night stay in Berlin this past August. But I only had two days to explore this huge and important city. I had to run around all over the city, in my fool’s attempt to do it all. What a pleasure, at the end of the day, to go up the staircase and beyond thick walls, past the sturdy wooden doors into the rooms of the Mittendrin whenever making my return from a sightsseeing marathon. Hours of walking each day, nonstop reading and stopping, crossing canals and boulevards, up museum steps and across city parks. Imagine my delight at returning to my charming lemon refuge, a little like Van Gogh’s bedroom to be honest, to the comfy bed and the magic window that managed to offer soothing cool air while repelling city noise despite, yes, being in the center of it all. Places like the Mittenrin are the stuff of tales.
It’s been over two months since my stay there in Berlin but the experience left an indelible mark. Sometime at night, when anxious feelings invade, and the need to dispel negative thoughts or stress delays sleep, I recall that beautiful little yellow room in my mind and peace and solace reign.
Thank you, Sabine!
